The careers advice and guidance service is delivered in partnership with Careers Wales West. As a college student you can access careers guidance throughout your programme of study. Prospective students are also able to access this service by calling the Learner Contact Centre.

The College also has extensive links with UCAS and all the British universities. A full range of events and workshops, providing guidance on the UCAS process, is available throughout the academic year within the College as well as organised visits to universities and higher education fairs. Students looking to progress to higher education are also able to seek individual UCAS guidance.

Studying bilingually

Pembrokeshire College is committed to developing its bilingual provision and ethos. We promote bilingualism and encourage all our students to develop and use their Welsh language skills.

Bilingual opportunities
Students are welcome to access tutorials in Welsh, to complete assessments or assignments through the medium of Welsh and there are many units that you can study in Welsh or bilingually too.

Studying your vocational course bilingually will help you develop valuable skills for the workplace and will give you a wider range options when you leave College.

Opportunities to develop skills
Here in the College, there’s a wide range of courses which can help you do everything from developing your awareness of the language, give you the confidence to meet and greet in Welsh, develop your ability to offer a customer service through the medium of Welsh and develop your skills both spoken and written.

Whatever your level of skill and confidence, we can help develop those skills in readiness for moving on to the workplace or moving on to another course.

Social opportunities
The College is excited to announce the creation of ‘Aelwyd Coleg Sir Benfro’ which will give students the opportunity to compete and volunteer in the Eisteddfod. Students are also welcome to join the ‘Bore Clonc’ which is held every third Tuesday of the month.
